The iQOO 13 is expected to come with a comprehensive package, including a USB Type-C to Type-C cable and a bundled charger. The device will reportedly feature an advanced ultrasonic fingerprint sensor for enhanced security and a sleek hole-punch display design. Notably, the display panel is said to surpass the quality of the BOE X2 Oriental screen, promising improved visual performance.

The combination of cutting-edge biometrics, modern design, and superior display technology positions the device as a compelling option in the premium smartphone segment.

Under the hood, it might be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC with up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. For optics, the smartphone is mostly likely to sport a triple rear camera setup, including a 50-megapixel primary, 50-megapixel ultrawide, and 50-megapixel 2x telephoto camera. For selfies and video calling, the iQOO 13 might has a 32-megapixel front-facing camera.

The iQOO 13 is expected to boast cutting-edge technology, including a novel heat dissipation system and single-layer motherboard for improved thermal management. Additionally, it will feature the company's proprietary Q2 chip, tailored for enhanced gaming experiences. It might pack a 6,150mAh battery that would provide all-day power

In terms of pricing, the iQOO 13 is expected to be positioned similarly to its predecessor, the iQOO 12, which launched at a starting price of Rs 49,999 in India.
